Our Services
Initial Consultation | Free
For anyone interested in services, I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation. The goal of the consultation call is to provide an initial “meet and greet” to learn more about you, your needs/hopes, and to share a bit more information about the services provided at TRANSIT Psychology. This is a time to answer any questions and to determine if we would be a good fit together moving forward or if it makes more sense to provide you with a referral. Consults are offered for potential therapy clients, evaluation clients, supervisees, and organizations.
Intake | $375
For individuals seeking therapy or testing services, our initial session is referred to as the intake session. During this 60-minute session, we discuss the intake forms you completed, administer/discuss questionnaires, what brings you to psychological services now, potential therapy modalities, and your hopes for therapy. This session can be viewed as an information-gathering and expectations-setting session.
Individual Psychotherapy |
$275 for 50-minutes, $375 for 80-minutes
For therapy clients, ongoing sessions will be either 50- or 80-minute sessions based on treatment modality and client preference. Session content is also determined by modality; however, all sessions will involve depth-oriented work.
Group Therapy | $175
For group therapy clients, sessions are typically held weekly for 90 minutes for 8 to 12 weeks. To foster connection and allow space for each attendee, group sizes range from 5 to 8 members. Individuals interested in joining a group are required to complete intake paperwork and have a 30-45-minute interview to determine if the group is an appropriate care model for their needs
Testing & Evaluation | $1500 to $4500
For individuals seeking a better understanding of their mental health, psychological testing uses structured tools to assess mood, anxiety, personality, and related concerns. The goal is to bring clarity, whether that means refining a diagnosis, guiding treatment, or having a better baseline understanding of yourself and how you function in the world.
Unlike neuropsychological testing, which focuses on brain functioning (e.g., memory, attention, or learning difficulties), psychological testing is centered on emotional and behavioral patterns. At TRANSIT Psychology, our evaluations focus on mood, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, and personality functioning to better understand your strengths and challenges, and to provide clear, actionable recommendations. Every evaluation will involve a clinical interview and assessment measures. The number of assessments, amount of time, and evaluation cost is determined by the referral question. We aim to complete all evaluations within one month.
Forensic Medical Evaluations | Free
For individuals seeking an asylum evaluation, please have your lawyer submit a case referral request to the Cambridge Health Alliance Asylum Program (CHAAP). CHAAP is a volunteer-run organization that provides forensic medical evaluations and education as part of an annual residency elective. This means that early-career doctors and psychologists will conduct the FME alongside a mentor. Case referrals are accepted from September to May.
Supervision | $150 for 45-minutes
For pre-licensed and licensed psychologists seeking supervision, Dr. Snyder offers short-term and ongoing supervision. Her supervision style emphasizes ethical decision-making, reflective practice, and evidence-based and evidence-emerging approaches. She supports professional growth by helping clinicians strengthen their skills in psychotherapy, assessment, and clinical reasoning. Supervision is tailored to the developmental stage and individual needs of each supervisee, creating a collaborative and supportive environment to enhance both confidence and clinical competence.
Hourly Consultation | $200/hour
For clinicians, organizations, and research teams seeking support, Dr. Snyder offers collaborative and approachable consultation. She brings together her background in psychology, public health, and research to help clarify challenges, strengthen programs, and translate complex ideas into practical steps. Each consultation is tailored to the needs of the individual or team, with the goal of building confidence, direction, and impact.
Speaking & Workshops |
Honorariums and Pricing Varies
For those interested in having Dr. Snyder speak at your organization or institution, please submit a contact request with your desired topic, typical audience size, event or series, and goals for the presentation.
For those interested in a workshop, please submit a contact request with the desired topic, event, audience demographic, and hopes for the workshop. With collaborators through the Collective Healing Working Group, we have developed a 6-session model for vicarious trauma and resilience that is tailored to each organization and the needs of their staff. Single or brief trauma-based workshops are also available.
Psychotherapy: TRANSIT Types of Therapy
At TRANSIT Psychology, we offer a range of evidence-based and evidence-informed treatments for trauma and related concerns. Each type has a different approach, structure, timeline, and mechanism of change (i.e., the way it works). Below is a brief overview of each treatment, followed by a side-by-side comparison table.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
CPT helps you look closely at how trauma has shaped beliefs about yourself and the world. It focuses on identifying “stuck points” (e.g., I am bad) and developing skills to have a more balanced and accurate way of thinking. For more information, click here.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR uses guided recall of distressing memories along with bilateral stimulation (BLS; like eye movements or body taps) to help the brain reprocess and “unstick” traumatic experiences.

Prolonged Exposure (PE)
PE is a structured therapy that teaches you how to gradually face trauma reminders—both memories and real-life situations—so your brain can relearn that these are not dangerous now.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Originally developed for people struggling with strong emotions and self-harm, DBT builds concrete skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and relationships. In our practice, DBT is offered through weekly individual sessions (not the full DBT program, which includes groups and phone coaching; click here to locate full DBT teams).
DBT with Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE)
This is a way of combining DBT skills with trauma processing. Once enough stability is in place, Prolonged Exposure can be added to directly work on PTSD symptoms, while continuing to use DBT strategies for support. For more information, click here.
Herman’s Three-Stage Recovery Model
Rather than a set of techniques, this model provides a roadmap for complex trauma recovery: 1) creating safety and stability; 2) processing and mourning traumatic experiences; and 3) reconnecting with life and relationships. It helps pace and organize treatment. For a scientific article from the developer, click here.
Psychodynamic Therapy (PDT)
Psychodynamic therapy is rooted in the idea that our earliest relationships and unconscious patterns shape how we experience the world today. This approach helps you explore the “logic” beneath emotions, defenses, and relational patterns that may feel confusing or repetitive. Through a collaborative and reflective process, therapy can increase your capacity for mentalization (understanding your own and others’ states of mind), deepen self-understanding, and open new ways of relating. Some people use psychodynamic therapy in a focused, time-limited way to address specific concerns; others find that longer-term work allows for more enduring changes in identity, relationships, and emotional life. For scientific articles on PDT, click here for an effectiveness study broadly and click here for an efficacy study in young adults.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
CBT is one of the most widely studied and practiced forms of psychotherapy, grounded in the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. CBT emphasizes identifying and testing the accuracy of automatic thoughts and underlying beliefs that can fuel distress. In therapy, clients learn to notice patterns, examine evidence for and against their interpretations, and experiment with new behaviors. This structured, skills-oriented approach has been adapted for a wide range of concerns, such as trauma, depression, and anxiety. This modality has given rise to specialized forms like CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I) and trauma-focused CBT. While it is often delivered in a time-limited format (e.g., 12–20 sessions), many of its principles and techniques can also be integrated into longer-term care, providing clients with a versatile set of tools to support coping, resilience, and emotional regulation.
